Hi! My name is Patti Johnson and I'd like to welcome you to WowGiftIdeas.com! Whether you're looking for the perfect gift for that special someone... or you need to know what to buy for your next baby shower... or you're looking for just the right birthday, holiday or graduation gift, you've come to the right place!

Since I'm a wedding planner, I have helped thousands of people select just the right wedding and shower gifts. In fact, I have two websites devoted to wedding showers and baby showers you might enjoy visiting.

I'd also like to take a minute to introduce you to Angie Anderson and Sara Thomas. Angie is a great friend and she's an absolute star when it comes to knowing what to buy people for special occasions. Angie won't only help you find the perfect gift, she'll help you find it at a bargain and can even help you out with wrapping and presentation techniques. Yes, Angie is definitely a gem and she'll be sharing all of her tips and knowledge with you while you're here.

Last, but certainly not least, is Sara Thomas. Here's how Sara describes herself: "I've got 2 kids, 1 husband, and 2 cats, and I'm an avid gift-giver! No, you didn't read that wrong - I LOVE to give gifts. Over the years I've become pretty good at matching cool gift ideas to my friends, family members, and colleagues for various occasions - birthdays, graduations, weddings, baby showers - you name it! I'm happy to have a chance to share these Wow! Gift Ideas and do my part to stop the cycle of less-than-stellar gift ideas. You know the ones I'm talking about: collector's items of stuff you don't collect, tasteless clothing, and Chia anything." I know you'll love Sara's advice.

So grab a cup of coffee, sit back and stay awhile. We're going to take you on a gift giving extravaganza that's going to change the way you look at gift giving!

Christmas and birthday presents are always nice, but there's something special about a just because gift. When you give someone a gift for no particular reason, you brighten up their day because a, it's a surprise, and b, it shows them how much you care and that you were thinking of them. The gift doesn't even have to be anything special: in this case, it really is the thought that counts.

If there's one thing I hate to see, it's an Easter gift basket loaded down with sugar and fat. Sure, kids love those yummy treats, and it's okay to supplement your Easter gift baskets with chocolate eggs and the like. But when you make sugar your Easter focus, it's an unhealthy recipe for disaster.

So this year, pick a few choice treats and use them as supplements in your Easter gifts. What should you use to fill in the rest of the space? Glad you asked -- here are a few fun ideas.

Chances are you've heard the term atomic clock before, but you might not know what one is or why it's different from any other clock. Simply put, an atomic clock is...by far the most accurate timekeeper available. Unlike traditional clocks, which use magnets to tell time and lose or gain minutes, atomic clock time uses microwave signals (not, as some may worry, anything radioactive) to keep perfect time.

I don't know who came up with the gift of the month club, but it's absolutely brilliant. Talk about the gift that keeps on giving! If you're not familiar with the concept, you're missing out. The basic idea is exactly what it sounds like: you pay an organization that sends a new gift, usually based around a common theme, to the recipient on a monthly basis.

In other words, when all the other gifts are used up and put away, yours will keep on giving. Like the idea? Check out these great gift of the month clubs for all your gift giving needs.
